Watermelon, Watermelon

(Sung to the tune of: "Clementine")

Watermelon, watermelon,
Such a juicy summer treat!
Seeds for spitting,
What a fitting
Snack to take outside to eat!

Oh, Watermelon

(Sung to the tune of: "Oh, Christmas Tree")

Oh, watermelon, big and green,
You are the biggest that I've seen!
Oh, watermelon, big and green,
You are the biggest that I've seen!
Underneath the green and white,
You're juicy red. Let's take a bite!
Oh, watermelon, fun to eat,
You are my favorite summer treat!

Growing Melons

(Sung to the tune of:  "Farmer in the Dell")

Watermelon seeds, watermelon seeds
On the ground and all around,
Watermelon seeds

The vines begin to grow…
The yellow flowers bloom…
The melon buds appear…

Big and green and round, big green and round
The melons grow until they are all
Big and green and round.

Watermelon Echo Song

(Sung to the tune of: "Frere Jacques")

Oh, No! (Oh, no!)
I just swallowed (I just swallowed)
A watermelon seed. (A watermelon seed.)
Will I grow a watermelon (Will I grow a watermelon)
Deep in me? (Deep in me?)

Oh, No! (Oh, no!)
That seed won't grow (That seed won't grow)
In my tummy. (In my tummy.)
There's no rain or sunshine (There's no rain or sunshine)
Deep in me! (Deep in Me!)

Watermelon Fingerplay

A watermelon is round
(make a circle with arms and hands)
And as hard as your head
(knock lightly on head with fist)
The RIND is green
(clasp hands together to show melon)
and the FLESH is red.
(open hands to show inside)

A watermelon tastes good
(take a pretend bite from a watermelon slice)
And is a juicy treat
(rub tummy)
But the SEEDS inside
(point to inside of cupped hand)
You do not eat.
(shake head no)

A Watermelon Grows

A seed is planted in the ground.
Soon a vine will be found.
A yellow flower starts to grow.
Then a melon begins to show.
Big and round as it can be,
A watermelon grew for you and me.

The Watermelon Patch Song

(Sung to the tune of: "Are you Sleeping?")

Watermelon,
(Make a circle with your arms.)
Watermelon, On the vine,
(Curve hands and arms beside body.)
On the vine, Sweet and red and juicy,
(Rub your tummy.)
Sweet and red and juicy, Please be mine!
(Palms together as though pleading.)
Please be mine!

Watermelon,
(Make a circle with your arms.)
Watermelon, Thump, thump, thump,
(Make a thumping movement with thumb and middle finger.)
Thump, thump, thump, I think you are ready
(Point, resting finger on your temple.)
I think you are ready- Big and plump!
(Make a circle with your arms.)
Big and plump!
